BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100) announced by Telstra

RIM’s brand new BlackBerry Pearl 3G will be available pretty soon in Australia, as Telstra – the country’s largest mobile operator – has just announced that it’s “the exclusive Australian launch partner” for it.

Unlike Vodafone UK’s Pearl 3G (9105), Telstra’s version is the 9100, which has a SureType QWERTY keyboard instead of a regular, alphanumeric one.
